Stainless Steel 316/L
Stainless Steel 316/L is one of the most popular stainless steel grades used in 3D printing. This material has better mechanical properties thanks to the high-temperature gradient and fast solidification rate, though some printers can print with 17-4 PH as well.316 Steel is a robust metal with a rough, pitted surface. 316L Steel is available in a variety of polished and matte finishes and is good for a wide range of applications, including jewellery, functional parts, and small sculptures

Feature
316L Stainless Steel has better mechanical properties thanks to the high-temperature gradient and fast solidification rate. It is good material for printing both functional and spare parts in 3D. The material is easy to maintain because it attracts little dirt and the presence of chrome gives it the added benefit of never rusting.316L Steel is used to offer solid pieces and essential hygienics in several industries such as the medical, aeronautical, automobile, and domestic products industries.
